Jewish New Year

Last night Mark and I almost finished our puzzle. But, we don't have a new one yet, so we stopped in our tracks. I'm going buy a new one this evening. I hope to find a good one at the local toy stores. Actually I live a few miles from a Toys R Us and they seem to have a ton of puzzles, so I will try them first.

What else, I went to temple last night to celebrate the Jewish new year (Rosh Hashanah) Mark came with me, which was very nice of him because I know he doesn't prescribe to the Jewish religion. But I think we both went for the learning experience and to try some thing new.

We went to a Reform Temple called Beth El which is located on the west side of Madison. It's a nice building near a park in a residential neighbourhood. And I didn't get to look around inside the building very much because it was kind of a rush in and rush out sort of deal, but inside the main room there was beautiful stained glass with light behind. It was a pretty standard Rosh Hashanah service, I knew the songs and the stand up sit down routine and it felt kinda like my old temple in Seattle. But my family wasn't there, which felt strange to me, because I associate temple with family. I never went to temple in Bellingham, and so, never went to a temple with out the presence of my family. So, it was new, but felt familiar.

Hey, for those of you who are reading this and don't know much about Rosh Hashanah, here is a little bit of info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah

I need to run off to work.

Happy New Year :)
